The Alternative Star Wars Saga, also called the Alternative Saga, is a fan-fiction continuity created by Victor Dorantes, Wayne Lipman III and Brandon Rhea after the merger of Brandon Rhea’s Alternative Saga and the Squishy Vic Series, although Dorantes has since left the project. Other contributors include Solus, Edward Oliver, and Brent Krajewski. The saga spans across a vast timeline, starting around 99,945 BBY until at least 7 BBY, with central characters in the Bac, Lanmaw, and Skywalker families. Central events include the Great Territorial War, the Clone Wars, and the Galactic Civil War.
Novels in the Alternative Saga include Star Wars: Episode I - The Chosen One and Star Wars: The Alderaan Affair. There are a number of planned novels and series such as the Chronicles of the Great War series, the Trials of War series, Star Wars: Betrayal, and My Father's Dreams. An animated spin-off of The Chosen One was also planned, but was later canceled.
On internet communities such as the Star Wars Fanon Wiki, TheStarWarsRP.Com and the Jedi Council Boards on TheForce.Net, the Alternative Saga has received praise from many readers and reviewers. Compliments range from what reviewers perceive to be strengths in dialogue and overall storytelling to the ability to take the existing Star Wars Saga and turn it into a convincing and engaging alternate universe story, something that some readers have noted is rare in rewrites of the Star Wars Saga. Although some reviews have been more tempered, the overall feedback has been largely positive.

- First Impressions by Atarumaster88
The cup rattled just a bit, sliding almost imperceptibly across the table. The water inside sloshed around as it was moved by invisible hands, the meniscus bobbing frantically with the motion. A few meters away from the table, a lanky teenage boy of fifteen years stood, his eyes closed, his right hand outstretched and trembling with exertion. His name was Selusda Kraen, though he usually went by Selu, and he was a Jedi Padawan, as denoted by his plain tan tunic and the long braid extending from his otherwise close-cropped black hair down across his shoulder. Though he was in no way touching the cup of water, it continued to vibrate and then lifted off the table to float twenty centimeters above the hard gray ceramic surface, joining two other cups that were floating there, suspended in thin air by the power of the Force.
The young man stood there silently, gritting his teeth as his brow furrowed with exertion. He had been standing that way for the past couple minutes. There were three cups in the air now, all hovering perfectly still, and three more that remained on the table. The teenager’s right index finger twitched, and the base of the fourth cup started subtly shifting as he sought to extend his mind’s reach around it and lift it, too, off the surface of the table. He had once lifted five into the air, and now, today, he would strive to hoist six into the air telekinetically. If the Force was with him.

- TheStarWarsRP.Com is an active role-playing forum created by Steven Alldis, otherwise known as “Jetzt”, in the early part of 2005 and he founded the site on the basis of “faith, pride and good role-playing”. The original site was hosted on ProBoards and contained members of the former LucasArts Role-Playing Forum, Cyris’ Realm and Star Wars United. While the early history of the site was not enjoyable for some early members due to the constant arguing and feuding between a rival site, which at one point culminated in having The Star Wars RP shut down by ProBoards, the site grew into a fun and enjoyable community of diverse members in both talent and location...

- The Star Wars Photo Novels Wiki is a Star Wars Wikia Wiki, the purpose of which is to provide a place for creators and authors of Star Wars photo novels to document information about their work. Essentially an offshoot of Star Wars Fanon, Star Wars Photo Novels users can read the material of other users, suggest changes, edit articles and help document information about photo novels. The Wiki is currently a young one with a minimal amount of articles when compared to other Wikis, though Administrators Darth Depressis and Drewton have expressed the desire to see it grow over time.
